“People whose movement through geographic space seemed to be more rhythmic had lower anxiety and depression levels,” says Schueller. As people get depressed, the normal patterns start to slip. “Maybe they forget an appointment, decide not to go out with their friends, travel to and from work at later or earlier hours,” he says. This kind of diagnostic location tracking is still in development, but Schueller says he imagines it might one day be linked to digital calendars, to see if people are missing scheduled appointments. With enough erratic behavior, the app could send out a notification asking if the person is okay.
